NFC tag and connector

[billt79]

Hi, I would like to use the NFC capability of the nRF52 on a custom PCB, and I was wondering if the tag and connector used on the PCA10040 are for sale anywhere, I can't seem to find any info on the connector. If not does anyone have any recommendations on a small tag, less than 30mm width, and low profile connectors that could be used?

Thanks for your time.

Hi Bill,

If you want to find the one for PCA10040, the connector is Molex 051281-0594, you can find it on digikey/mouser. The antenna was made by us, and not available for purchasing. But it's the NFC Forum's "listener 6" type. I guess you would need to join and request the definition from NFC Forum. But you can also just copy the layout we have with that antenna for development purpose.

We are qualifying the antenna design, right now it's not official yet.

Thanks Hung, I would like to use your one as it is low profile, and flexible, which fits my design requirements perfectly. Any ideas on when/ if the antenna will be available.

Hi Bill,

We ordered the antenna from a company called Elprint (elprint.no). You can contact them and order product number 203406 from them.
